@KieroSi22 күн бұрын
@@Rydog-ov9ye All this bloody talk of being underrated sounds like an insult. They weren't some unknown band, they got worldwide radio play practically every year since their first release... they didn't chart, big bloody deal, millions upon millions know who they are and have fond memories of THEM. Ben never gets enough credit nor their numerous other musicians that would take part. Show some bloody respect... they didn't slip thru the cracks, their so called "return" (tho, truly never really went away) gained international attention and did quite well.

4am I walk in my kitchen, I’m half asleep and on my radio there’s this fantastically smooth tune playing, I Shazammed it, learned it was by EBTG and bought the tune. To add to my astonishment this was released in 1984.

The UK Bossa Nova renaissance in 1984 was a glorious time, Sergio Mendes Astrid Gilberto Ton Jobim Sivuca all getting airplay on the pirate stations, with Sade Matt Bianco and EBTG getting in the pop charts with this little gem.. this one stuck with me all this time, takes me right back to the summer of 84..

1984 was a great year for music in general; "Breakin' Down (sugar samba) Julia & Co. "PYT" Michael Jackson. "Automatic" Pointer Sisters. And these were just the Yanks! The British releases were as good - Some even better; "Pray Like Aretha Franklin" Scritti Politti. "Down on the street" Shakatak. "Dial 999" Loose Ends.

No. No. NO. Bring back 80's music perhaps, because actually, it never really went away as people who liked it had recordings that they continued to play which then influenced another generation of musicians & music lovers. The era itself though? No Thanks. It was ten years fraught with poverty, anxiety, political suicide, anger, violence. OMGosh... If you lived through the 80's & want it revived you are either of fairly poor intelligence or you were wealthy for that decade and couldn't give a monkey's uncle for your fellow man.

EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL - THE BEST OF EBTG Everything but the Girl are an English musical duo formed in Kingston upon Hull in 1982, consisting of lead singer, songwriter, composer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, producer and singer Ben Watt. The group's early works have been categorized as sophisti-pop with jazz influences before undergoing an electronic turn following the worldwide success of the 1994 hit single "Missing". The duo have achieved four top 10 and 12 top 40 singles in the UK and have received eight gold and two platinum album BPI certifications in the UK as well as one gold album RIAA certification in the US. Their cover of "I Don't Want to Talk About It" reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1988, a feat later matched by "Missing", which charted high in several countries and reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1995 and spent over seven months on the UK Singles Chart thanks to a popular remix by Todd Terry which led to a Brit Award nomination for Best British Single. Their ninth album Walking Wounded (1996) set a new career best by entering the UK albums chart at No. four, and spawned the top 10 singles "Walking Wounded" and "Wrong". The band went inactive in 2000, with Thorn declaring that she would no longer perform live. Thorn and Watt, who did not publicise their romantic relationship while active, married in 2009, both released solo albums and said it was unlikely Everything but the Girl would be active again. However, in November 2022, Thorn announced an album had been recorded for release in the second quarter of 2023. Fuse, the band's first new material in 24 years, was released on 21 April 2023. The discography of Everything but the Girl consists of eleven studio albums, eight compilation albums, five extended plays, thirty-one singles, and one video album. The band formed in Hull during 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, and singer Ben Watt. ♥️💯‼️And I have the great honor of having in my discography eight CD-albums by Everything But The Girl (or EBTG). Because I have three duplicate CD-albums and the other two CD-albums are just one copy of each. So, I have in my discography AMPLIFIED HEART (1994) two copies of this CD-Album. I also have two copies of the CD-Album WALKING WOUNDED (1996). I still have a single copy of the CD-Album, which is a greatest hits, THE BEST OF EBTG (1996). Also a single unit, also on CD-Album, from TEMPERAMENTAL (1999). And, finally, the most recent record work, released on April 21st of this year, the CD-Album, FUSE. Also two copies. Altogether there are eight CD-albums by Everything But The Girl as I mentioned at the beginning of this comment. Honestly, I've loved this duo since I heard the radio version of "I Don't Want To Talk About It". And, in the mid-nineties, when Todd Terry remixed "Missing", it was a huge commercial success worldwide. On their latest studio album, FUSE (2023), the British duo is to be congratulated for the excellent work. It took them a long time to come back, but the new CD-Album was worth the wait. It's very well done. I love the ten songs! It's worth having an album, in my case, in CD format! I know all the previous works of the EBTG. But after "Missing" and AMPLIFIED HEART, Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn became huge international stars! I simply adore them! ♥️💯‼️The Best of Everything but the Girl is a compilation album by English musical duo Everything but the Girl, released in 1996. Track listing: 1. "Missing" (Todd Terry Remix) from Amplified Heart, 2. "Driving" (Todd Terry Remix) Previously unreleased mix, 3. "Old Friends" from Worldwide, 4. "One Place" from Worldwide. 5. "I Don't Want to Talk About It" from Idlewild, 6. "Love Is Strange" from Acoustic, 7. "The Only Living Boy in New York" from Home Movies, 8. "Apron Strings" from Idlewild, 9. "When All's Well" from Love Not Money, 10. "Another Bridge" from Eden, 11. "Each and Every One" from Eden, 12. "Rollercoaster" from Amplified Heart, 13. "Driving" (The Underdog Remix) Previously unreleased mix, 14. "Better Things" (Massive Attack with Tracey Thorn) from Protection, 15. "Protection" (Massive Attack with Tracey Thorn) from Protection. Charts: Chart (1996) Peak position: New Zealand Albums (RMNZ) 30, Scottish Albums (OCC) 46, UK Albums (OCC) 23, Certifications: Region Certification Certified units/sales: Australia (ARIA) Gold 35,000^, United Kingdom (BPI) Platinum 300,000^ ^ Shipments figures based on certification alone. ♥️💯‼️
